If you are absent, it is your responsibility to review the slides prior to returning to class following an absence. Review slides first, then ask any relevant questions during office hours. I will not take time during class to go over what was missed the previous class period (unless it's to review specific material).

Bring a notebook to class every day to capture notes, write responses, add literary terms, and add tone words.

Our focus in 12 AP Literature and Composition is:
***to explore and understand what literature can teach us about the human condition.
***to practice and apply the inductive thinking process to deepen the understanding of literary works (prose, poetry, drama).
***to explain and provide evidence of HOW literary and poetic devices function within a work. Simply identifying literary devices in a work is basic; analyzing how devices function is where critical thinking occurs.
